What is the Shar'i ruling on recording daily attendance for contestants with a green color for prayer in the mosque and yellow for other matters, and coloring a sheet for each prayer, even though there is a reward for good deeds that is not included in the scoring? And is this considered an innovation (bid'ah)?
It is not legislated to record good deeds in competitive tables between individuals. This is an innovated method that goes against the guidance of the Salaf and opens the door to showing off, lying, boasting, and self-admiration. Worship should be a secret matter between the servant and his Lord.
